Hello family. It sounds as if you have had quite the adventures this week. More than me even. That is crazy that all of those things happened and i wish i could have seen grandma joan being pushed in a wheelchair while racing to get to the flight! It makes me laugh just thinking about it. But the vacation overall sounded like a blast. I'm sorry that grandpa bob wasn't feeling better though. that's a bummer. My week has been going good. Right now i am in Iowa Falls which is about 45 miles from Story City, but still in our area. We have been up here since saturday night. A member family has an apartment above their law firm and are letting us stay in their. So we are now spending half the week here and half of the week in Story City. The president said that he might be assigning missionaries to be in Iowa Falls though and that would be awesome. We will find out this week when transfer calls come. Its crazy to think that i have been here for almost 6 weeks already. Yesterday we visited a less active and committed her to come to church and handed out a couple of books of mormon so their is definitely lots of potential up here. I have not yet gotten your letter yet. i will be super excited when i do though. The last letter i got was from grandma and grandpa bob (i was supposed to tell them last week that i got it but i forgot.) And that was almost 2 weeks ago. I probably average like one letter every other week. The weather in Iowa this last week was very good. Some days were pretty hot, but nothing too too bad. I don't remember having any exciting adventures that stand out from this last week. We have been teaching a lot of lessons lately about the Doctrine of Christ which is Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Holy Ghost, Enduring to the End. Hyrum Smith stated that the more often we teach it the greater understanding we will have of it, the easier it will become to teach, and our desire to teach it will increase. I have found all of those things to be true. it's always the seemingly simple principles of the church that we continue to find new things to learn about.
